Cardiff Met Library has a new and exciting electronic
resource. It is called Worth Global Style Network, the resource that predicts
and tracks new trends in fashion, textiles and related areas such as youth culture,
marketing, branding and packaging. Rich in images both still and moving, you can view
worldwide catwalk shows, see what’s in the high street shops right now or read
what fabrics are likely to be appearing in two year’s time. Special features,
news items and trend forecasting for colour, fashion and materials make this
resource valuable for fashion, and textiles students but also definitely of
potential interest for media studies students, illustrators, graphic designers, product
designers, interior designers and anyone interested in fashion and textiles and
their world of image and fantasy, theatricality and display, invention and
style. Available only to Cardiff Met staff and students it is part of the
Electronic Library. Here is a link to it. Help and advice on this and all our other databases and resources available at Llandaff Library
from Catherine Drake and at Howard Gardens Library from Jenny Godfrey.
Check out another fashion database we have for a month's trial until the end of May. It is called The Vogue Archive and comprises all the pages of all the American Vogue US edition from 1892-present as a fully searchable database. Let Catherine or myself know what you think of it. Here is the link. Again this will only work for logged in staff and students of Cardiff Met.
